ARE YOU B-READY? THE BEST WRAPS, BUNS AND ROLLS AT MIL-FOOD HAVEN STREET FOOD FESTIVAL!
ARE YOU BREADY? THE BEST WRAPS, BUNS AND ROLLS AT MIL-FOOD HAVEN STREET FOOD FESTIVAL!
Street Food Warehouse are bringing their street food tour back to the sunny climes of Pembrokeshire, West Wales, for a huge bank-holiday weekend of incredible food at Mil-food Haven Street Food Festival. Between 17th and 18th August, some of your old favourites as well as a bunch of exciting newbies will bring their a-game to Milford Haven in what promises to be a perfect way to begin capping off a food-filled summer.
One of the problems most people have - us included - is where to spend your money. What are you into? So much choice, so many lovely street food vendors waiting to tingle your tastebuds. Dishes that draw inspiration from countries and cultures around the globe, or perhaps those that pride themselves on using local produce, are all at your finger tips. We're dough-lovers here in the Street Food Warehouse office. Wraps? Burgers? Tacos? Anything you're sticking inside 'em for a dish of bready goodness gets our vote. With that in mind, below we take a look at some of the vendors that'll be curing our cravings for carbs.
CLARK'S KITCHEN: HALLOUMI BURGER/WRAP
Our man Clark knows his way around squeaky cheese. His Halloumi fries are to die for, but it's the burgers and the wraps that we're all about for this piece. One of the Street Food Warehouse mainstays, Clark's Kitchen has been attracting queues with his cheesy grin and even cheesier burgers and wraps. Accompanied by various delicious condiments - tzatziki, piri piri or onion chutney, all big choices - this wholesome take on a vegetarian classic that'll give you cheesy chappies a tasty fix.
THAT STREET FOOD: TASTY QUESADILLAS
This lovely Welsh bunch have caused quite the storm across the summer on the Street Food Warehouse tour. Punters across the UK have hailed the various dishes they're serving, and this author tucked into the Pulled Pork Tacos - can confirm, absolutely delicious. Our team pick though, on the bready front, is That Street Food's selection of quality quesadillas. For the meat-lovers, there's blackened cajun chicken, whilst there's also an option for the new veggie fave, Jackfruit. Both brilliant options, cooked up by brilliant people.
Little Marrakesh / Street Food South West: Marrakesh Flatbreads
John and the rest of the Little Marrakesh crew are another bunch of Street Food Warehouse day-one's. Literally. John's done practically every event with us since we started out back in 2015, and from the outset the flatbreads have been a big draw for street food festival goers around the country. Treat yourself to a stop at their stand, and you'll see why. Between Shwarma Style Chicken, Vegan Chickpea Tagine, or Moroccan Lamb, we're still undecided on what the best of the three is. Help us decide. Get stuck in.
ASSEMBELLY: FISHY ROLLS!
Multiple award-winner Toby is one of the most esteemed members of the Street Food Warehouse club. Bringing an array of highly original and innovative foodie inventions to our festivals, it's always a pleasure seeing people stroll away from the Assembelly stand with their eyes popping over their delish' fishy dish. In terms of their bready options, two spring to mind: the Bacon Scallop Roll, and the Pembrokeshire Lobster Roll. Both served with a host of delicious trimmings - avocado and chipotle mayo rarely make anything worse - either of these will have you pining for more.

EASY VEGAN SUBSITUTIONS TO MAKE TODAY!
EASY VEGAN SUBSTITUTIONS TO MAKE TODAY!
One in eight people Britain UK and Northern Ireland are vegetarian or vegan according to a 2018 study by supermarket chain Waitrose, with a further 21% claiming to be ‘flexitarian’ – having a mostly vegetarian or vegan diet supplemented by the occasional bit of meat or dairy.But there are some particular culinary itches that you might find difficult to scratch if you’ve ditched animal-derived food altogether.So, whether you’re looking to make a permanent switch to that plant-based lifestyle or are looking to cut down on your consumption for the good of your health (or the planet’s), here’s a few quick and easy vegan substitutions from some of movers and shakers of the vegan and veggie street food scene in Cardiff and beyond…
Lauren Saunders, Wild Thing, Cardiff
After much anticipation, vegan café Wild Thing opened its doors in Grangetown earlier this year and was an instant smash hit with its brunches and Sunday roasts.“For vegan pancakes, use 125g oat flour, 250ml oat or almond milk, one tablespoon of baking powder, one tablespoon of maple syrup and one tablespoon of cinnamon. These pancakes are our best seller in the cafe! They are super filling as they use oat flour! They are really thick American style pancakes but feel really light and fluffy to eat - we use gluten free oat flour so that everyone can enjoy them. Try serving them with seasonal fruit compote, maple syrup, nut butter and seeds.”
Ellie Penny, Last Night a Vegan Saved My Life, London
Last Night a Vegan Saved my Life is in the process of coming back after a fire nearly destroyed it last year – read our exclusive interview."A good one is if you like a creamy sauce soak cashew nuts in water for five minutes then put in a blender - the more water you put in it becomes more like a cream, if you put less in it becomes a bit more like ricotta.”
Chris Braham, Sero, Cardiff
Sero is a newcomer to the south Wales food scene, with owner and kitchen main man Chris pitching up on selected nights at Blue Honey Night Café and around the city….“Here’s an easy fried chicken substitute: you can make a vegan 'buttermilk' from soy yoghurt and white wine vinegar in one bowl. Then separately mix flour, salt, onion and garlic powder, parsley and paprika (you can add literally any spice). Dip oyster mushrooms into the buttermilk, then the flour and deep fry them for about four minutes.”
Delyth Griffiths, The Greenery, Cardiff
A relatively recent addition to Cardiff Market in the space formerly occupied by Milgi, The Greenery specialises in healthy, vegan lunches and snacks and even does a range of CBD-infused drinks.“Lentil Bolognese is true plant-based stale. This recipe is easy, cheap and can go a long way. Add to pasta, or use in a chilli con carne or with tacos. It’s so versatile.You need one pack 500g red lentils, one white onion, one stock cube, melted in one litre of hot water, one tablespoon oregano, one stick of celery, one tin chopped tomatoes, one tablespoon tomato pureè, one clove of garlic finely sliced, about 400ml, salt, some form of oil (sunflower, vegetable, coconut, olive). You can also use red wine for flavour intensity and fresh rosemary.Chop up the garlic and onion and celery, fry off the onion and celery together with a splash of your favourite oil to cook with. Add the garlic to briefly cook, add the lentils and fry off for a minute or so. Then add the tomato paste, chopped tomato, stock, oregano and salt and leave on simmer on low for about 15 -25 minutes. Add more water as required - lentils need a lot of liquid. Finish with more salt.”
Alex Cook, the Pink Peppercorn, Neath
The Neath-based Pink Peppercorn team are Street Food Warehouse favourites and serve up food made from fresh, local and seasonal produce.“Vegan butter is great! It goes great in our miso risotto, pearl barley, miso ,mushrooms, asparagus, peas, tahini cream – we top it with chive flowers, lemon zest, mint and pink peppercorns.”

THE 'WELSH STREET FOOD AWARDS' COMES TO SWANSEA FOR 2019!
Well, well, well. Swansea was a banger, there's no doubt about it. You lot thought you were going to have to wait a whole year for another foodie bonanza at Museum Park, and a year is a long old time.

Supported by Hellmann's, the Welsh Street Food Awards 2019 will see food vendors competing for your vote as they jostle for a place at the British finals in London. There are two ways of getting there; receive the most votes from the general public, or get the nod from the celebrity judges who will be on site across the weekend judging the best dish that each vendor puts forward. The Hang Fire girls, as well as Richard Johnson, will get the final say for one lucky (and deserving) vendor, but it'll be you guys casting your own votes that also have huge implications for the other winner. Who are you backing?There's a genuinely superb selection of street food on offer at this year's Welsh Street Food Awards. Some classic Swansea regulars make an appearance in the form of the BBQ bosses at Spicer's, the Frenchy wizards Rue de la Cocotte, and previous finalists Pink Peppercorn. There are also plenty of newbies heading across to lovely Abertawe; Queen Pepiada bring their delightful Venezuelan cuisine, whilst the Mexican/Welshie hybrid That Street Food are enjoying their second summer season, bringing delicious dishes and big ol' smiles. A call out to the sweet tooths, the carb-cravers and the spice-fanatics. There's something for all of you! Full listings of vendors can be found here. Of course, we'll also be bringing our sister company - Pop Up Bar Hire - to supply the pints and the Pimm's all weekend long, for what is expected to be a gloriously sunny and tasty weekend of high quality street food.

CREAM OF THE CROP: THE BEST ICE CREAM IN SOUTH WALES
The cream of the crop: the best ice cream in South Wales!
After a few false starts, it looks like summer’s here – and it’s back with a vengeance. And what better than to cool off when the temperature rises than a delicious scoop of ice cream or two?The verdant rural pastures of Wales mean that when it comes to ice cream, there’s very few who can match us. Add to the proud tradition of Welsh-Italian cafes and ice cream parlours – a fixture here since the industrial revolution - and you’ve got a recipe for some of the best frozen delights in all of the country.Here’s some of our favourite spots…
Joe’s: Swansea, Cardiff & Llanelli
The queues snaking out on to Mumbles Road on a sunny day attest to the wild popularity of Joe's – probably south Wales’ most famous and beloved ice cream. The company dates back to 1898, when Luigi Cascarini moved to the region from the Abruzzi Mountains in Italy and set up a café for industrial workers in the area. Joe’s is a mainstay of Swansea seaside life, but the lucky residents of Roath in Cardiff can get their hands on one with its shop in Wellfield Road. There’s a branch out west in Llanelli too.TRY IT: It’s got to be Joe’s Real Vanilla – it’s a tried and tested recipe unchanged since 1922.
Forte's: Mumbles
You’d be hard pressed to find a better spot for an ice cream than Forte's, a quaint parlour situated right next to Limeslade beach and the Wales Coastal Path – in the summer you can often spot seals frolicking the water nearby. The view is amazing but the ice cream is arguably even better – and that’s saying something.TRY IT: Strongbow Dark Fruits ice cream. Yes, really. We back this hard.
Ice Green: Cardigan
Here’s a Welsh ice cream producer proudly doing it without dairy. Cardigan’s Ice Green is causing quite a stir with it’s plant-based iced concoctions in and around its home of Carmarthen and beyond. They’ve been wowing revellers at Street Food Warehouse events, so catch ‘em while they’re hot. Or in this case, cold.TRY IT: Ice Green have launched a new dairy-free riff on soft-serve ice cream: Mr Oaty, made with gluten-free oats.
Cadwalader’s: Cardiff Bay, Barry
Cadwalader’s HQ is actually in north Wales, but this might just be one of the best spots in the Welsh capital to get a frosty cone on a nice day. It’s right on the front at Mermaid Quay, and ideal for watching the tourist boats bobbing around the Bay. The seaside crew in Barry can also get in on the action at its Paget Road café.TRY IT: How about a scoop or two of the magical ‘Unicorn’ flavor?
Caffe Sidoli’s: Ebbw Vale, Bridgend
Welsh-Italian OG's Sidoli's have been whipping up top-notch ice cream since the 1920s. Back then, the goods were made using blocks of ice brought in on rail from Cardiff. Thankfully, making ice cream’s a lot easier today – but it’s just as delicious. For the traditional experience head to the original Ebbw Vale cafe, but you can also unwind with a sundae or cone after a hard afternoon bargain hunting at the retail paradise of McArthur Glen, just off the M4 near Bridgend.TRY IT: You really can’t go wrong with Sidoli’s mint chocolate chip, for our money.

MIL-FOOD HAVEN STREET FOOD FESTIVAL 2019 IS A SWEET TOOTH'S DREAM!
MIL-FOOD HAVEN STREET FOOD FESTIVAL 2019 IS A SWEET TOOTH'S DREAM!
The Street Food Warehouse team really love seeing Pembrokeshire in our events calendar. A mixture of Welsh pride and love of the beautiful coastal views means we're always itching to get back to the Southwest of the homeland whilst the sun is still beaming down. After the success of Pembrokeshire Street Food Festival in June, it's music to the ears that we're headed back to Milford Haven for another weekend jam-packed with foodie fun in the sun. Those of you who attended Pembs will be aware of the unbelievable selection of food on offer. From BBQ to seafood and everything in between, it's real-life foodie heaven. It'll be the same at Milfood Haven Street Food Festival, too. Don't you worry about that. To keep you in the know with all things food prior to the festival (and to get you even more excited) we'll zoom in on what can be expected for you all. This time around we're catering to the sweet tooth gang, who really are going to have their hands full come 17-18 August. Brownies, doughnuts, cheesecakes and milkshakes, it's gonna be a sugar overload. 
DUTTY'S
Our current 'Vendors of the Month', Adam and Laura of Dutty's are embarking on their first summer festival season in 2019 and it's fair to say they're absolutely rocking it. A bustling weekend in Pembrokeshire Street Food Festival in June saw them totally sold out by the Sunday afternoon, but now they've got their eye on an even bigger weekend in Milford Haven. From Chocolate Orange to Kinder Buenos and forest fruits to tea cakes, their creamy cheesecakes are topped with all sorts of goodness. No wonder they've always got a stream of hefty queues outside their adorable little VW van!
CHOCK SHOP
Mounds and mounds and mounds of brownies. A brownie mountain, if you will. That's what you'll see if you head to the Chock Shop stall before the gates open at Milfood Haven Street Food Festival. Before, because as soon as attendees start clocking in, that vast display of chocolate brownies begin to deplete faster than you can munch one down. The Chock Shop folks are exhibiting Willy Wonka-levels of innovation with their brownie selection, with all sorts of weird and wonderful items mixed in alongside some of the classics. You'll be pleased to know that they serve the brownies by the box load, if you're that way inclined. Newsflash: you are that way inclined. 
GOWER DOUGHNUT CO.
We're absolutely buzzing to bring the Gower Doughnut Co. with us to Milfood Haven after a stonking weekend in Swansea back in May. Another previous Street Food Warehouse 'Vendor of the Month', the doughy delights are always a huge hit with sweet tooth folk who are all about their sugary fix at our festivals. brimming with all sorts of crazy toppings (see candy floss above), here is the archetypal 'Instagram' dessert. Colourful, beautiful, tasty as hell. It'll reel in the likes, and it'll taste absolutely fantastic. 
THE ORGAZMIC MILKSHAKE COMPANY
The cheeky chappies at Orgazmic Milkshake are old-time residents of the street food tour, and boy do they know how to please a crowd. Their milkshake is often the perfect fix on a sunny summer's day for the sugar heads amongst you, but that's only the beginning of their dessert-dishing prowess. Hot waffles, cookie dough, ice cream and floats aplenty, they're always real hit and served with beaming smiles and Brummy laughs from the lads.
